Tissue material cut into thin slices or sections to study the detailed internal histological structure while retaining the structural unit in its natural position, with sections of uniform and known thickness by a precision instrument, Microtome. Four type of Microtomes available and used as per requirement. For simple and preliminary teaching for beginners are Hand microtomes, for freehand sections with a commonly used sectioning razor. Thinner the section more the precision required in feed drive. For precision and thin sections down to 1 micron required for detailed study and research by sophisticated, precise Rotary and Rocking type microtomes. Standard microtome razors or knives used in such models are of fine grain tool steel alloy, heat treated and tested for microstructures, with long life and perfect performance.
With a wide flat top to guide the sectioning razor. Cutting table 65 mm diameter. Central well diameter 23 mm. Operated by milled, graduated knob ratchet with positive click stop at interval of 10 mm.1div =10 m. Graduated in 10 - micron increments and advances 500 microns for each turn. Overall height 85 mm. Complete with -One
knife honing glass plate, One oil can for lubrication and One knife holder tightening key .
Simple, versatile one of the best microtomes with outstanding performance to the microtomists. For sectioning comparatively soft, wax embedded tissues with completely replaceable knife edges. Carries a wide choice of specimen holders-cylindrical holders, standard and orientating, wood block holders for wax embedded
specimens. Both standard knife holder and razor have a 10 tilt. Long ribbons of sections can be cut from specimens upto 20 mm in diameter and single sections from specimens upto 18 x 25 mm mounted on wooden blocks. The micron setting and return of feed mechanisms are simple and easy to operate. Heavy stable base supported by solid rubber feet for smooth working. Standard microtome knife with built in handle, fabricated out of fine grain tool steel for long life and perfect performance. In addition to this a safety blade holder can also be supplied as optional accessory as an independent disposable unit for changing the ordinary blade each time of sectioning session, thus avoiding expert, time consuming stone grinding and stropping of the standard razor which is a very slow and time consuming work.
For precise sections of cutting tissue blocks embedded in paraffin by smooth and easy rotary movement with a wheel. Facilitates long time continuous working with minimum tireness and effort. Provides jerk-free and uniform thin sections down to 1 micron. Long life, with minimum wear and tear but routine maintenance. Durable, robust construction with internal mechanism fully protected as encased in a sturdy metallic hinged cover, thus safe from moisture and dust. Heavy base with solid rubber feet provides stability to machine during working.
Razor of fine grain tool steel, heat treated and tested for microstructures. Razor is of double wedge pattern to maintain optimum long time sharpness. Accurate and precise razor holder with lateral movement to permit use of complete knife edge of 120 mm. Angle of razor can be set at any required degree. Razor with a hollow back and a solid removable handle for safe handling.
The object holder provide movements in various directions for setting the block holder in the required alignment of the razor. The feed range is enough to cut sections upto 25 microns in steps of 1 micron each. For convenient setting of the thickness of sections to be cut, a precise and graduated knob in microns has been provided in front of the machine. The return wheel permits rapid movement of the block holder and the attached mechanism, forward and backward within the working distance of the microtome. Approx. mass : 20 Kg. Supplied packed in wooden box with operational and maintenance manual.
To cut thin sections with simple and easy rotary movement which makes long time, continuous working tireless and convenient. With superior adjustments components for long life and smooth working. Provides jerk-free, uniform sections down to 1 micron. Fully protected internal mechanism as encased in a hinged cover saving it from grit and moisture. Heavy base with solid rubber feet makes it stable while working.
Precise and accurate feed range mechanism, razor holder and object carrier etc. Feed mechanism fabricated to advance the object block in such a precision increments that tissue can be sectioned down to 1 micron thickness. Feed release automatically disengages on reaching the maximum limit. Indicator, graduated in microns is located on front of the instrument. Provided with a safety locking device in the advance wheel when razor or specimen block needs to be changed or when the machine is not in use. The block and razor holder can be adjusted at any desired angle or place. Double wedged razor of fine grain tool steel, heat treated and tested for microstructures for long time sharpness. Razor with a hollow back and solid removable handle for safe handling and adjustments. Return wheel with a handle which permits rapid movement of block holder and the attached mechanism, forward and backward within the working distance of microtome. Razor holder with fine lateral movements to permit use of complete knife edge to 120mm and also with adjustments to set at required angle. In wooden box with operational and maintenance manual.
